Botswana and Zambia are the hidden jewels of Southern Africa: often overlooked in favor of more popular South Africa but offering an arguably more authentic safari experience to those in the know. Start in Botswana, with two nights at Chief’s Camp in the Okavango Delta and then two nights at Khwai River Lodge near the Moremi Wildlife Reserve. These are two of Botswana’s “must-see” areas, showcasing the watery wonders of the Okavango Delta and the exceptional wildlife that flocks to the shores of the Khwai River. From Botswana, head to Zambia for a single night in Livingstone to see the magnificent Victoria Falls and then head to Lower Zambezi National Park for three nights at Chiawa Camp. Zambia is known for its pristine environment and it does have a magically untouched quality. From a base on the banks of the Zambezi River, guests can participate in the regular game drives or participate in a host of other activities, including fly fishing, canoe trips, walking safaris, night drives, and sunset river cruises.
